Im posting a couple of pictures from my last shelling adventure almost a week ago! I've been having some major back issues.. and I think the many hours of bending over and shelling on the beach have taken its toll on me.. which is very unfortunate since I am to go on my family vacation in a week! So no more shelling so I can rest up for the trip! Here are my most recent finds..

Look at all those pretty scallops!

Some nice swirlies, baby ears and jingle shells

More Coquina clams. They are awfully lovely!

My one and only shark tooth that I found.. not too shabby though!

Next time I post it will be after my few weeks at Topsail Island and I'm sure I will have A LOT to show off! I cant wait!

I got to go shelling yesterday and man was it HOT. But thats alright, that certainly couldnt stop me! I got a good few hours in before I thought I was going to pass out. Lots of pretty scallops out. Also found some baby ears, augers, olives and some lovely clam shells. Heres a look at my finds:

Some augers, olives and baby ears

Some of my lovely scallops

Those pretty coquina clam shells.. although when I woke this morning, I saw my cats had gotten into my shells and those pretty brown and white ones were long gone!

About Me

I live in Wilmington, NC and absolutely love it! I spend most of my free time going around to the surrounding barrier islands to go shelling.. or treasure hunting as I also like to call it. Nothing brings me such pleasure as just going out on the beach and seeing what I can discover.. you never know what you will find and I love that. I specifically like to collect shark teeth, scallops, whelks, baby ears, fossils, bones, sand dollars, coral, snail shells or anything with a swirly, olives and whatever else that strikes my fancy!
